Whenever I could get away from my tables I ran around taking pictures at the Boise Knife Show last weekend.
It was a lot of fun with really good knife makers and really cool knives. For those of you who were at the show that I missed, my apologies.

I was really tempted to add some text balloons with the people in the photos saying funny stuff but I used some self discipline for once. It wasn't easy.

In the interest of those of us who are impulse-control-impaired, I hope you don't ;)

It's because we were in Idaho. You know, when in Rome.......
If the show was in Hawaii we would have been wearing Hawaiian shirts hoping to get leighed.

My next Oregon Show I will be wearing tie dye and twist my hair into dreads.

Brett doesn't have a website. Most of his Ivory goes to his regular customers and then he goes to the shows sometimes.
We met Brett at my first knife show and have been friends ever since. Every show he has a special piece set aside for my wife.
Last year was a piece of oosic, should have seen the look on her face when I told her it was a walrus weiner.
This year was an Eskimo artifact fire starter.

I see now what they say about the Badger show.

I recognize Devin and I think Burke's knife but the dude holding it doesn't look like who I thought it should look like.
Who's the proffesor looking dude with the kitchen knives?

It seems facial hair was a requirement for vendors.

It's because we are all ugly. The more of the face hidden, the better.

Yep, that's Bill.

Other than Devin and Bill, who were the other winners in the competition?
